But a young recruiter rejected the 26-year-old, telling her that she was too old, but that the Army might take her.

“He looks at me and he goes, ‘Um, how old are you?’ And I said ‘Well, I’m 26, I’m going to be 27.’ And he goes, ‘Well, that’s kind of old for us,’” the recruiter told her, she said Tuesday.
